Chapter 302: It's better than dumplings
Auntie's death day.
Two years of death.
Zhou Qiao gave the clinic a day off. This is an important day for the clinic, and it must be a holiday.
He was on the third floor of the clinic, burning paper for his aunt, putting incense on him, and changing tributes. Twin girls are on hand to help.
In this room, in order to facilitate paper burning, a fireplace was specially installed, and there was a chimney that could go straight to the outdoors.
In addition, the fireplace is not usually used, and there is an iron door that can be closed.
The twin sisters' eyes were red, after all, they were raised by their aunts.
"I wonder if my aunt is in another world?" Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment, it was time to go and sweep the tomb of his aunt again.
Every New Year's holiday, as well as last year's first anniversary death, in fact, he went.
But this year, he had to go again, and that was what he had to do as a nephew.
The wind and the sun were beautiful, he took his twin sisters, went to Chinatown to buy a lot of grave sweeping supplies, and drove to the cemetery.
This is a cemetery, although the place is not particularly expensive, it is relatively remote, and the nearby church is small, with only two or three people inside. But the victory is in the beautiful mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet.
After cleaning up the fallen leaves and weeds around and offering a bouquet of flowers, Zhou Qiao took the two sisters and chatted with his aunt in front of the tomb.
Talk about the development of some clinics, the patients treated these days, and the heartfelt smiles of patients after recovery.
Especially Fang Yuanyuan and Chu Xuan, who have now been discharged from the hospital, but if they want to go on the pile and resume the lion dance, it is estimated that they will need two or three months of recuperation and rehabilitation training.
Injured muscles and bones for 100 days, although there is a "Delska" secret medicine, which can speed up healing, but it really takes time to reach the level of "athletes".
The scenery near the cemetery is beautiful, it is on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and you can watch the sunrise in the morning, which is actually very suitable for camping.
But at night in the Bay Area, although the security is much better than before, I still dare not sleep outside at night, and go back to my house and sleep peacefully.
"It's not interesting to eat steak every day, I'll make you a meal of beef and cabbage stuffed dumplings today!" Zhou Qiao suggested.
"Dumplings?" When the twin girls heard this, they were about to drool.
"Actually, Anna has made us before, but, alas, I can't eat the dumplings she made anymore."
"It's the same bag I'll give you. Although my skills may not be as good as my aunt! Although Zhou Qiao is a southerner and does not eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, he usually eats dumplings when he occasionally changes his taste.
In addition to boiled and steamed in a steamer, there are also potstickers, that is, fried dumplings, fried until golden brown on both sides, dipped in vinegar and spicy, which is simply a favorite of office workers for breakfast.
The dumplings in the south, in addition to the usual change of taste, are eaten most for breakfast, which is very convenient to pack and take away.
Go to a supermarket owned by a Chinese, buy high-gluten flour, beef, cabbage and various seasonings at home, roll up your sleeves, and start drying.
The finest snowflake beef is chopped, "gotta got, gotta got," like a horse trotting, this is the sound of horseshoe.
Zhou Qiao used both knives with both hands, 320 knives per minute, no more, no less, right fast and left slow, using the best steak materials, which others used to fry steak, he directly chopped them for filling.
It's a terrible thing.
However, what you eat, how happy you come.
Cut the green onion and ginger into minced pieces, put them in a large stainless steel basin with the snowflake beef filling, and sprinkle in pepper, five-spice powder, soy sauce and salt. Then put the chopped cabbage, add sesame oil and stir well.
Mix noodles, roll noodles, and make dumplings while rolling.
In fact, there are ready-made dumpling wrappers sold in the supermarket, but the kind of machine rolled out, Zhou Qiao felt that it was not delicious, so he had to roll it by himself. I also bought two small rolling pins that were small and a few feet long.
The kind of workmanship is very exquisite.
Elena and Ava each ate with a small rolling pin and smiled.
"Joe, which one do you think is longer than this one or the one you have?" Elena gestured in front of Zhou Qiao's crotch.
Zhou Qiao was speechless: "Do you make dumplings well?" ”
“NO!” The twin girls said in unison.
All three of them are ingenious, so making dumplings is not a problem.
At first, it was a little rusty, but soon, the dumpling skin was rolled out thin and round, and the dumplings were also pinched to a uniform size and beautiful texture.
Dozens of dumplings are neatly arranged on the tray, and it has to be said that it is pleasing to the eye, like a work of art.
Looking at these dumplings, Zhou Qiao's mind moved, so he went to find a 10-cent coin and said, "Let's wrap this lucky coin in the dumplings, whoever eats it will be the lucky one." ”
"Great, what an excellent idea!"
"What's the reward?" Ava asked, tilting her head, her pretty face and the bridge of her nose stained with a little white flour, but it was even more beautiful.
Zhou Qiao smiled: "Reward a big red envelope!" ”
"Don't." Ava shook her head.
Now that the conditions of the clinic are good, Zhou Qiao, the elder brother, has never treated them badly in terms of money, and red envelopes are not rare.
"What do you want? Just open your mouth, I can meet all I can! Zhou Qiao shouted. He is very confident, and his current wealth has not been specifically counted, but there are hundreds of millions of dollars.
The main head is Qiao Ya Bio, then the newly established medical device company, and then the income of the clinic.
If nothing else, half of Veronica's recent $5 million charity money has now gone to the clinic's account. There are many more patients in the future.
Of course, the clinic is not for nothing, they have paid superb medical skills, serious and responsible care, as well as psychological counseling, one-stop service. It can be said that the Iris Clinic is already the top in the medical community in California, just in terms of the individual patient's experience.
If you compare the volume and profitability, it is definitely not as good as those big hospitals. This is determined by the volume.
Zhou Qiao has no plans to expand for the time being, he is too tired and troublesome. Isn't it easy to enjoy life?
Elena laughed and said, "Whoever eats it will enjoy it the most tonight!" Well, at least 10 times! ”
Ava cheered and raised her hand in agreement.
The two girls are blonde and blue-eyed, with tender skin, a high nose bridge, and delicate facial features. This cheering together is heartwarming.
Just, ten times? Zhou Qiao suddenly shouted: "Oh my God, are you still sleeping that night?" ”
"No matter. Lucky coins must have this treatment! ”
Zhou Qiao had no choice but to agree, but his eyes rolled and he said, "What if I eat it?" ”
"Then ......"
"Of course, the officials can play as much as they want, no matter how excessive the requirements, we will cooperate!"
So, Zhou Qiao shook his spirits, washed the coin, and wrapped it in one of the dumplings.
Elena and Ava were afraid that he would cheat, so they came to check it several times, and finally, the three of them took turns to "shift the dumpling" and mix it into the many dumplings.
Wait until the dumplings are frozen hard in the refrigerator, and then mix them thoroughly, oh my God, I can't find which one is which.
Who can eat it depends on luck.
The 10-cent coin in the United States is slightly smaller than the 1-cent and 5-cent coins. The $1 one is slightly smaller than the 50 cent one.
The U.S. dollar 1 coin has two designs, one is issued in 1961 with the head of Eisenhower, but the diameter is too large and the circulation is inconvenient, so another small dollar 1 yuan has been reissued since 1981, and the pattern has been replaced with the head of Susan Anthony, an American feminist activist.
In addition, the largest coin ever issued in the United States was the $100 Platinum Lady of Liberty, but it was not actually in circulation. The largest dollar coin in circulation was the $20 gold coin, which was issued until 1932, and although the coin was not abolished by U.S. law, the depreciation of the dollar and the rise in the price of gold made it impossible for the coin to actually circulate.
Because the value of that gold coin has long exceeded its denomination.
Zhou Qiao doesn't like to eat boiled dumplings, only potstickers, he hasn't fried dumplings much before, but he has a very high understanding, the first pot is slightly burnt, and then he mastered the trick, and the second pot is golden on both sides.
Then the next few pots are all golden, full of color and flavor, just looking at it is appetizing.
He uses an iron pan instead of a non-stick pan. Nonstick pans are coated and unhealthy.
The biggest trick to frying dumplings is to put water.
Heat the pan with cold oil, arrange the dumplings in turn, add water and submerge half, cover with a lid, and turn on high heat to burn. Because the boiling point of water is low, the water evaporates first.
When the water is boiled dry, the inside is full of oil, and the dumplings are almost cooked, then fry slowly over low heat, wait until one side is golden brown, and then turn over and fry the second side.
Some people only fry one side, but Zhou Qiao feels that the two sides are golden and refreshing.
"Joe, you can open a store and do business with this skill!" Elena hugged him from behind and hung on him coquettishly.
"Don't make a fuss, beware of getting burned by oil." Zhou Qiao was helpless, but enjoyed it, because Elena was not only coquettish, but also boldly touched the front of him with one hand.
Who can afford this?
Ava was still breading dumplings outside, and when she glanced back, she couldn't help but shout, "Wow, you guys are stealing food behind my back again." ”
"No, no, you're thinking too much!" Elena replied to her sister while increasing her efforts!
"Beware of my pot overturning......" Zhou Qiao kissed her and let her out.
Elena couldn't get enough of it, but Ava couldn't help but rush in outside, so she had to give up.
"Sister, wait until I eat that coin, you will be miserable at night!" Ava teased. The heart said that if I eat it, I will let you watch it all night.
"How do you know you've eaten? What if I get it? ”
"Moreover, Joe said that he would send a few more pots to Ariel's side later, and give them a taste to the black girls, what if they are eaten by the black girls?"
"No," Ava screamed, "Joe still likes black?" ”
Zhou Qiao scolded with a smile: "Who likes black, I like you who are dazzlingly white!" "The twin girls are not only white now, but also white and red, pink and tender all over, and there is no black place on the whole body.
Elena shrugged and said, "You're stupid, you won't wait for us to eat the coins before giving them away." ”
"Yes, yes, but what if you don't get it all the time? For example, wait until it's all eaten before you eat it. ”
"It doesn't have to be delivered. Or you can send it again after you pack it another day. ”
Fortunately, their luck is very good, especially Elena, when eating dumplings, in the first plate, Elena took a bite of it, "quack", and actually hit it!
Elena couldn't help but immediately scream happily: "Ava, Joe, I've eaten, I've eaten!" ”
The beauty spit out the coin in her mouth, and sure enough, it was the one she had put in before.
"Oh my God, why is it sister again?" Ava feels so unwilling, huh~, why do I say "again"?
Zhou Qiao felt that he must be tired and happy tonight. Elena, a little stunner, has this exclusive opportunity, so you have to squeeze him dry?
"Hmph, I'm not going to play with you anymore, I'll send dumplings to the laundry!" Ava puffed up and began to pack the dumplings.
Since it was already dark, the laundry next door was still open, and the neighbors who were a little farther away did not have this mouthful.
Don't look at Ariel, they are all women, but in this area, the murderous reputation is far and wide, and the homeless people dare not stay in this neighborhood.
Although they have "withdrawn from the rivers and lakes", the rivers and lakes still have their legends.
"Thank you, thank you, wow, it smells so good!" The black girls in the laundry were naturally attracted by this kind of golden snack on both sides, and when they took a bite of it, it was still fragrant, juicy and delicious cabbage and beef, and the black girls immediately rushed to eat it, not to mention how happy they were.
By the time Ava came back, Zhou Qiao had already been in the middle of a big battle with Elena.
